Damp proofing treatment is highly recommended inside the wall of the flat before plastering for several reasons:-
1. Prevents Water Penetration:-
Damp proofing prevents water from entering the wall, reducing the risk of dampness, mold, and mildew.
2. Reduces Humidity:-
By applying damp proofing treatment, humidity levels within the wall are reduced, creating an unfavorable environment for mold and mildew growth.
3. Protects Building Materials:-
Damp proofing safeguards building materials like steel, concrete, and wood from corrosion and decay caused by moisture.
4. Enhances Durability:-
By preventing water ingress, damp proofing treatment enhances the durability of the building structure and components.
5. Improves Indoor Air Quality:-
By controlling moisture, damp proofing treatment improves indoor air quality, creating a healthier environment for occupants.
6. Reduces Maintenance:-
Damp proofing treatment reduces the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, saving time and resources.
7. Prevents Salt Damage:-
Damp proofing prevents salt damage (efflorescence) on walls, which can lead to aesthetic issues and structural concerns.
8. Increases Energy Efficiency:-
By reducing moisture, damp proofing treatment helps improve insulation performance, leading to increased energy efficiency.
Applying damp proofing treatment before plastering ensures a robust and long-lasting waterproofing solution, protecting the building from potential dampness issues.
